Spartacus:
Ever since Microsoft announced it was buying Activision Blizzard in the biggest gaming deal ever, Sony fans have been desperate to see the PS5-maker respond in some way, as if the console giant had “big news” stored in a t-shirt cannon ready to be blasted out into the ravenous crowd at the drop of a hat. But the signs have certainly begun to align around some sort of announcement, seemingly around backward compatibility, and PS4 and PS5 owners are ready to believe.
The speculation began earlier this month with a new patent filing by Sony about backward compatibility and exploded over the weekend when the company’s Japanese Twitter account teased a reveal of something potentially big, with the simple clue “1.23”. The most out-there fans interpreted this to mean “PS1, PS2, PS3”. Despite some gaming sites hyping up expectations, it turned out to just be the reveal of…an ad featuring pop star Kenshi Yonezu.
Things might have cooled down after that, but then last night PS4 trophies were briefly replaced with PS3 trophies, an apparent glitch in the matrix that some interpreted as a sign of Sony’s master plan for Tokyo Jungle to once again be playable on modern consoles. “Is it happening?!” wrote one fan.
GTA Leak:
PlayStation Now’s next big game has seemingly leaked. With rumors circulating that PlayStation Now and PlayStation Plus are coming to an end to combine and create a new subscription service, tentatively called PlayStation Spartacus, which is not only a combination of these two pre-existing subscription services, but will reportedly allow subscribers access to PS3, PS2, and PS1 games. Whether how much of this is true, only time will tell, but amidst all of these rumors, PlayStation Now has been slowly but surely improving, adding more and more compelling games. It’s still lagging behind Xbox Game Pass in a key few areas, but it’s a far more compelling service than it used to be.
The last few months, PlayStation Now has added a wide range of great games. One of these games arrived last month, and it was the recent remaster of GTA 3. Now, it looks like the recent remaster of GTA Vice City is being added in February, which would make the remastered GTA San Andreas — the third and final GTA game that comprised 2021’s Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition — the only missing game from the subscription service. Of course, this could be remedied in the future, but the fact that it’s currently available via Xbox Game Pass may prevent this from happening anytime soon, if it ever happens.
That said, for now, take this with a grain of salt. None of this is official news. Rather, it comes the way of Twitter user Billy Allen, who shared a screenshot showing what is undeniable proof that it’s coming to the subscription service until May 2, 2022.
State of Play:
As always, the new year has kicked off with a ton of rumors. Many believe a Nintendo Direct is forthcoming, while others have been eyeing Sony’s PlayStation space. Of course, nothing that comes soon is likely to be as massive as Microsoft’s acquisition of Activision Blizzard, but many are still looking forward to new games and release dates for this year, not next.
And, as always, the rumors centered around these events should be taken with a grain of salt. All good rumors live and die by their source, and while some believable sources have indicated Sony will host a State of Play event focused on Horizon Forbidden West on February 3, it’s still best to keep expectations in check. However, for anyone who has been keeping up with State of Plays, there’s another major component of this rumor: timing.
